Similarity Solutions

Similarity Solutions is a mathematical method in boundary-layer theory that reduces partial differential equations governing fluid flow and thermal boundary layers into ordinary differential equations by introducing a similarity variable, which collapses the governing equations through coordinate transformation based on invariant properties under scaling.
